*This Form 10-Q includes discussion of the COVID-19 vaccine that Pfizer has co-developed with BioNTech (BNT162b2) and our oral COVID-19 treatment (Paxlovid). The vaccine may be referred to by its brand name, Comirnaty (approved under a BLA), or as BNT162b2 (authorized under EUA). The vaccine is FDA-approved to prevent COVID-19 in individuals 16 years of age and older. The vaccine is authorized by the FDA to prevent COVID-19 in individuals 5 years of age and older. In addition, Comirnaty/BNT162b2 is authorized by the FDA for a third dose for certain immunocompromised individuals 5 years of age and older, as a booster dose for individuals 12 years of age and older and as a second booster dose for individuals 50 years of age and older and for certain immunocompromised individuals 12 years of age and older. Paxlovid has been authorized for emergency use by the FDA under an EUA, for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg [88 lbs]) with positive results of direct SARS CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at high-risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death. The emergency uses are only authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of the medical product under Section 564(b)(1) of the FFDCA unless the declaration is terminated or authorization revoked sooner. The FDA has issued EUAs to certain other companies for products intended for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 and may continue to do so during the duration of the Declaration. See the EUA Fact Sheets at www.cvdvaccine-us.com and www.covid19oralrx.com.
This Form 10-Q includes discussion of certain clinical studies relating to various in-line products and/or product candidates. These studies typically are part of a larger body of clinical data relating to such products or product candidates, and the discussion herein should be considered in the context of the larger body of data. In addition, clinical trial data are subject to differing interpretations, and, even when we view data as sufficient to support the safety and/or effectiveness of a product candidate or a new indication for an in-line product, regulatory authorities may not share our views and may require additional data or may deny approval altogether.
Some amounts in this Form 10-Q may not add due to rounding. All percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts. All trademarks mentioned are the property of their owners.
The information contained on our website, our Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn pages or our Twitter accounts, or any third-party website, is not incorporated by reference into this Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

A. Basis of Presentation

We prepared these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our 20202021 Form 10-K, except as disclosed in Note 1C.10-K. As permitted under the SEC requirements for interim reporting, certain footnotes or other financial information have been condensed or omitted.

These financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 20202021 Form 10-K. Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be representative of those for the full year.

Pfizer’s fiscal quarter-end for subsidiaries operating outside the U.S. is as of and for the three and six months ended May 30,February 27, 2022 and February 28, 2021, and May 24, 2020, and for U.S. subsidiaries is as of and for the three and six months ended JulyApril 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021.
At the beginning of our fiscal fourth quarter of 2021, we reorganized our commercial operations and June 28, 2020.began to manage our commercial operations through a new global structure consisting of 2 operating segments, each led by a single manager: Biopharma, our innovative science-based biopharmaceutical business, and PC1, our global contract development and manufacturing organization and a leading supplier of specialty active pharmaceutical ingredients. Biopharma is the only reportable segment. See Note 17A in our 2021 Form 10-K and Note 13 below.
Business development activities completed in 2022 and 2021 impacted financial results in the periods presented. Discontinued operations in the periods presented relate to the previously divested Meridian subsidiary, Mylan-Japan collaboration and Upjohn Business. See NoteNotes 1A and 2B in our 20202021 Form 10-K, and Note 2. On November 16, 2020, we completed the spin-off and the combination of our Upjohn Business with Mylan to form Viatris. For additional information, see Note 2B in our 2020 Form 10-K. On December 21, 2020, which fell in Pfizer’s international first quarter of 2021, Pfizerbelow.
We have made certain reclassification adjustments to conform prior-period amounts to the current presentation for discontinued operations and Viatris completed the termination of the Mylan-Japan collaboration pursuant to an agreement dated November 13, 2020 and we transferred related inventories and operations that were part of the Mylan-Japan collaboration to Viatris. As a result, the financial position and results of operations of the Upjohn Business and the Mylan-Japan collaboration are presented as discontinued operations. Prior-period information has been restated to reflect our current organization structure.segment reporting.
B. New Accounting Standard Adopted in 20212022
On January 1, 2021,2022, we early adopted a new accounting standard for income tax that eliminates certain exceptionscontract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination. Under the new standard, acquired contract assets and contract liabilities are required to be recognized and measured by the guidance related toacquirer on the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxesacquisition date in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. Theaccordance with ASC 606. This new guidance also simplifies aspectsgenerally results in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts that were recorded by the acquiree. Previously, these amounts were recognized by the acquirer at fair value as of the accounting for franchise taxesacquisition date. We adopted this new standard on a prospective basis and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The adoption of this guidance did not have a materialthere was no impact onto our condensed consolidated financial statements.
For information on new accounting standards adopted in 2020, see Note 1B in our 2020 Form 10-K.

C. Change in Accounting Principle

In the first quarter of 2021, we adopted a change in accounting principle to a more preferable policy under U.S. GAAP to immediately recognize actuarial gains and losses arising from the remeasurement of our pension and postretirement plans (MTM Accounting).Under the prior policy, we deferred recognition of these gains and losses in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. The accumulated actuarial gains/losses outside of a “corridor” were then amortized into net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period or the average life expectancy of participants. This change has been applied to all pension and postretirement plans on a retrospective basis for all prior periods presented, and as of January 1, 2020, resulted in a cumulative effect decrease to Retained earnings of $6.3 billion, with a corresponding offset to Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Each time a pension or postretirement plan is remeasured, the actuarial gain or loss is recognized immediately and classified as Other (income)/deductions––net.

We believe that MTM Accounting is a more preferable policy as it provides improved transparency of results and performance, better alignment with fair value accounting principles and a better reflection of current economic and interest rate trends on plan investments and assumptions and the actuarial impact of plan remeasurements.

D. Revenues and Trade Accounts Receivable
Revenue Recognition––We record revenues from product sales when there is a transfer of control of the product from us to the customer. We typically determine transfer of control based on when the product is shipped or delivered and title passes to the customer. For certain contracts, the finished product may temporarily be stored at our location under a bill-and-hold arrangement. Revenue is recognized on bill-and-hold arrangements at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the product and all of the following criteria have been met: the arrangement is substantive; the product is identified separately as belonging to the customer; the product is ready for physical transfer to the customer; and we do not have the ability to use the product or direct it to another customer. In determining when the customer obtains control of the product, we consider certain indicators, including whether we have a present right to payment from the customer, whether title and/or significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer and whether customer acceptance has been received.
Customers––Our prescription pharmaceutical products, with the exception of Paxlovid, are sold principally to wholesalers, but we also sell directly to retailers, hospitals, clinics, government agencies and pharmacies. We principally sell Paxlovid to government agencies. In the U.S., we primarily sell our vaccine products directly to the federal government, CDC, wholesalers, individual provider offices, retail pharmacies and integrated delivery networks. Outside the U.S., we primarily sell our vaccines to government and non-government institutions.

Trade Accounts Receivable––Trade accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for credit losses reflects our best estimate of expected credit losses of the receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, current information, and forecasts of future economic conditions. In developing the estimate for expected credit losses, trade accounts receivables are segmented into pools of assets depending on market (U.S. versus international), delinquency status, and customer type (high risk versus low risk and government versus non-government), and fixed reserve percentages are established for each pool of trade accounts receivables.
In determining the reserve percentages for each pool of trade accounts receivables, we considered our historical experience with certain customers and customer types, regulatory and legal environments, country and political risk, and other relevant current and future forecasted macroeconomic factors. These credit risk indicators are monitored on a quarterly basis to determine whether there have been any changes in the economic environment that would indicate the established reserve percentages should be adjusted, and are considered on a regional basis to reflect more geographic-specific metrics. Additionally, write-offs and recoveries of customer receivables are tracked against collections on a quarterly basis to determine whether the reserve percentages remain appropriate. When management becomes aware of certain customer-specific factors that impact credit risk,

specific allowances for these known troubled accounts are recorded. Trade accounts receivable are written off after all reasonable means to collect the full amount (including litigation, where appropriate) have been exhausted.
During the three and six months ended JulyApril 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, and June 28, 2020, additions to the allowance for credit losses, write-offs and recoveries of customer receivables were not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. For additional information on our trade accounts receivable, see Note 1G1H in our 20202021 Form 10-K.

D. Acquired In-Process Research and Development Expenses

In the first quarter of 2022, we began reporting acquired IPR&D expense as a separate line item in our consolidated statements of income. Acquired in-process research and development expenses includes costs incurred in connection with (a) all upfront and milestone payments on collaboration and in-license agreements, including premiums on equity securities and (b) asset acquisitions of acquired IPR&D. These costs were previously recorded in Research and development expenses. Prior periods have been revised to conform to the current period presentation. When we acquire net assets that do not constitute a business, as defined in U.S. GAAP, no goodwill is recognized and acquired IPR&D is expensed. The fair value of IPR&D acquired in connection with a business combination is recorded on the balance sheet as Identifiable intangible assets. See Notes 1E and 10 in our2021 Form 10-K.
Note 2.Acquisition, Discontinued Operations, and Equity-Method Investment and Collaborative Arrangement
A. Acquisition
Arena––On March 11, 2022, we acquired Arena, a clinical stage company, for $100 per share in cash. The total fair value of the consideration transferred was $6.6 billion ($6.2 billion, net of cash acquired). In addition, $138 million in payments to Arena employees for the fair value of previously unvested long-term incentive awards was recognized as post-closing compensation expense and recorded in Restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs (see Note 3).
Arena’s portfolio includes development-stage therapeutic candidates in gastroenterology, dermatology, and cardiology, including etrasimod, an oral, selective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator currently in development for a range of immuno-inflammatory diseases including UC, Crohn’s Disease, atopic dermatitis, eosinophilic esophagitis, and alopecia areata. In connection with this acquisition, we provisionally recorded: (i) $5.5 billion in Identifiable intangible assets, consisting of $5.0 billion of IPR&D and $460 million of indefinite-lived Licensing agreements, (ii) $1.0 billion of Goodwill and (iii) $510 million of net deferred tax liabilities. The allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed has not yet been finalized.

B.C. Equity-Method Investment
Formation of Consumer Healthcare JV
JV––
On July 31, 2019, we completed a transaction in which we and GSK combined our respective consumer healthcare businesses into a new JV that operates globally under the GSK Consumer Healthcare name. In exchange, we received a 32% equity stake in the new company and GSK owns the remaining 68%.
We are accounting for our interest in the Consumer Healthcare JV as an equity-method investment. The carrying value of our investment in the Consumer Healthcare JV is $16.4$15.8 billion as of July 4, 2021April 3, 2022 and $16.7$16.3 billion as of December 31, 20202021 and is reported as a private equity investment in Equity-method investments as of July 4, 2021April 3, 2022 and December 31, 2020.2021. The Consumer Healthcare JV is a foreign investee whose reporting currency is the U.K. pound, and therefore we translate its financial statements into U.S. dollars and recognize the impact of foreign currency translation adjustments in the carrying value of our investment and in other comprehensive income. The decrease in the value of our investment from December 31, 20202021 is primarily due to dividends totaling approximately $274 million, as well as $200$508 million in pre-tax foreign currency translation adjustments (see Note 6), as well as dividends totaling approximately $177 million, partially offset by our share of the JV’s earnings. We record our share of earnings from the Consumer Healthcare JV on a quarterly basis on a one-quarter lag in Other (income)/deductions––net. Our total share of the JV’s earnings generated in the firstfourth quarter of 2021, which we recorded in our operating results in the secondfirst quarter of 2021,2022, was $148$185 million. Our total share of the JV’s earnings generated in the fourth quarter of 2020, and first quarter of 2021, which we recorded in our operating results in the first six months ofquarter 2021, was $218$71 million. Our total share of the JV’s earnings generated in the first quarter of 2020, which we recorded in our operating results in the second quarter of 2020, was $129 million. Our total share of the JV’s earnings generated in the fourth quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020, which we recorded in our operating results in the first six months of 2020, was $140 million. See Note 4. The total amortization and adjustment of basis differences resulting from the excess of the initial fair value of our investment over the underlying equity in the carrying value of the net assets of the JV is included in Other (income)/deductions––net and was not material to our results of operations in the periods presented. See Note 4.

In connection with GSK’s previously announced planned demerger of at least 80% of GSK’s 68% equity interest in the Consumer Healthcare JV, in March 2022 the Consumer Healthcare JV completed its offering of a total aggregate principal amount of $8.75 billion in U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes of various maturities, €2.35 billion in euro-denominated senior notes of various maturities and £700 million in U.K. pound-denominated senior notes of various maturities (collectively, the “notes”). The notes are guaranteed by GSK generally up to and excluding the date of the demerger (the “Guarantee Assumption Date”). We have agreed to indemnify GSK for 32% (representing our pro rata equity interest in the Consumer Healthcare JV) of any amount payable by GSK pursuant to its guarantee of the notes. Our indemnity is provided solely for the benefit of GSK and will terminate automatically as of the Guarantee Assumption date. Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries is an issuer or guarantor of any of the notes.

Following its issuance of the notes in March 2022, in our fiscal second quarter of 2022, the Consumer Healthcare JV loaned to us and GSK the net proceeds received from the notes on a pro rata equity ownership basis, for which we received a loan of £2.9 billion, at an interest rate of 1.365% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears. The loan will mature and be repaid upon the earlier of two business days after approval of the demerger transaction by GSK’s shareholders or two business days after the occurrence of a mandatory redemption event with respect to the notes. In conjunction with the demerger, we will receive our 32% share of the proceeds repaid by us and GSK as a dividend from the Consumer Healthcare JV.
D. Collaboration Arrangement
Collaboration with Biohaven––In November 2021, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement and related sublicense agreement with Biohaven to commercialize rimegepant and zavegepant for the treatment and prevention of migraines outside of the U.S., subject to regulatory approval. Biohaven will continue to lead R&D globally and we have the exclusive right to commercialization globally, outside of the U.S. Upon the closing of the transaction on January 4, 2022, we paid Biohaven $500 million, including an upfront payment of $150 million and an equity investment of $350 million. We recognized $263 million for the upfront payment and premium paid on our equity investment in Acquired in-process research and development expenses. Biohaven is also eligible to receive up to $740 million in non-U.S. commercialization milestone payments, in addition to tiered double-digit royalties on net sales outside of the U.S. In addition to the milestone payments and royalties above, we will also reimburse Biohaven for the portion of certain additional milestone payments and royalties due to third parties in accordance with preexisting Biohaven agreements, which are attributed to ex-U.S. sales.
Note 3. Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives
A. Transforming to a More Focused Company Program
With the formation of the Consumer Healthcare JV in 2019 and the spin-off of our Upjohn Business in the fourth quarter of 2020, Pfizer has transformed into a focused, global leader in science-based innovative medicines and vaccines. We have undertaken efforts to ensure our cost base alignsand support model align appropriately with our new operating structure. While certain direct costs transferred to the Consumer Healthcare JV, and to the Upjohn Business in connection with the spin-off, there are indirect costs which did not transfer. In addition, weThis program is primarily composed of the following three initiatives:
We are taking steps to restructure our corporate enabling functions to appropriately support and drive the purpose of our business, and R&D and PGS platform functions. The program costs discussed below are expected to be incurred primarily from 2020 through 2022, and may be rounded and represent approximations.
We expect costs, for this program, primarily related to restructuring our corporate enabling functions, to total $1.6$1.8 billion, on a pre-tax basis, with substantially all costs to be cash expenditures. Actions include, among others, changes in location of certain activities, expanded use and co-location of centers of excellence and shared services, and increased use of digital technologies. The associated actions and the specific costs will primarily include severance and benefit plan impacts, exit costs as well as associated implementation costs.
In addition, we are transforming our commercial go-to market model in the way we engage patients and physicians. We expect costs of $1.1 billion, with substantially all costs to be cash expenditures. Actions include, among others, centralization of certain activities and enhanced use of digital technologies. The costs for this effort primarily include severance and associated implementation costs.
We are also optimizing our manufacturing network under this program and incurring one-time costs for cost-reduction initiatives related to our manufacturing operations. We expect to incur costs of $800 million, with approximately 25% of the costs to be non-cash. The costs for this effort include, among other things, severance costs, implementation costs, product transfer costs, site exit costs, as well as accelerated depreciation.
The program costs discussed above are expected to be incurred primarily from 2020 through 2022, and may be rounded and represent approximations.
From the start of this program in the fourth quarter of 2019 through April 3, 2022, we incurred costs of $2.3 billion, of which $875 million is associated with Biopharma ($20 million in 2022, $712 million in 2021, $79 million in 2020 and $64 million in 2019).

Also, as part of this program, we expect to incur costs related to manufacturing network optimization, including certain legacy cost-reduction initiatives, of $500 million, with approximately 20% of the costs to be non-cash. The costs for this effort include, among other things, implementation costs, product transfer costs, site exit costs, as well as accelerated depreciation.
From the start of this program in the fourth quarter of 2019 through July 4, 2021, we incurred costs of $1.2 billion.

Note 5. Tax Matters
A. Taxes on Income from Continuing Operations
Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 15.8% for the second quarter of 2021, compared to 14.0% for the second quarter of 2020, and was 15.0%12.9% for the first six monthsquarter of 2021,2022, compared to 13.3%14.2% for the first six monthsquarter of 2020.
2021. The higherlower effective tax rate for the secondfirst quarter and first six months of 2021, compared2022 was primarily due to the second quarter and first six months of 2020, was due to afavorable change in the jurisdictional mix of earnings primarily related to BNT162b2.as a result of operating fluctuations in the normal course of business.
We elected, with the filing of our 2018 U.S. Federal Consolidated Income Tax Return, to pay our initial estimated $15 billion repatriation tax liability on accumulated post-1986 foreign earnings over eight years through 2026. The thirdfourth annual installment of this liability was paid by its April 15, 202118, 2022 due date. The fourth annual installment is due April 15, 2022date and is reported in current Income taxes payable as of July 4, 2021. Theand the remaining liability is reported in noncurrent Other taxes payable.payable as of April 3, 2022. Our obligations may vary as a result of changes in our uncertain tax positions and/or availability of attributes such as foreign tax and other credit carryforwards.
B. Tax Contingencies

We are subject to income tax in many jurisdictions, and a certain degree of estimation is required in recording the assets and liabilities related to income taxes. All of our tax positions are subject to audit by the local taxing authorities in each tax jurisdiction. These tax audits can involve complex issues, interpretations and judgments and the resolution of matters may span multiple years, particularly if subject to negotiation or litigation.

The U.S. is one of our major tax jurisdictions, and we are regularly audited by the IRS. With respect to Pfizer, the IRS has issued Revenue Agent’s Reports (RARs) for tax years 2011-2013 and 2014-2015. We are not in agreement with the RARs and are currently appealing certain disputed issues. Tax years 2016-2018 are currently under audit. Tax years 2019-20212019-2022 are open

but not under audit. All other tax years are closed. In addition to the open audit years in the U.S., we have open audit years in certain major international tax jurisdictions dating back to 2010.2011.

E. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
Foreign Exchange Risk
Risk––
A significant portion of our revenues, earnings and net investments in foreign affiliates is exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. WeWhere foreign exchange risk is not offset by other exposures, we manage our foreign exchange risk principally through the use of derivative financial instruments and foreign currency debt. These financial instruments serve to mitigate the impact on net income as a result of remeasurement into another currency, or against the impact of translation into U.S. dollars of certain foreign exchange-denominated transactions.

The derivative financial instruments primarily hedge or offset exposures in the euro, U.K. pound, Japanese yen and Canadian dollar. We hedgedollar, and include a portion of our forecasted foreign exchange-denominated intercompany inventory sales denominated in euro, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar, Chinese renminbi, U.K. pound and Australian dollar forhedged up to two years. We may seek to protect against possible declines in the reported net investments of our foreign business entities.

Interest Rate Risk
Risk––Our interest-bearing investments and borrowings are subject to interest rate risk. Depending on market conditions, we may change the profile of our outstanding debt or investments by entering into derivative financial instruments like interest rate swaps, either to hedge or offset the exposure to changes in the fair value of hedged items with fixed interest rates, or to convert variable rate debt or investments to fixed rates. The derivative financial instruments primarily hedge U.S. dollar fixed-rate debt.

F. Credit Risk
A significant portion of our trade accounts receivable balances are due from drug wholesalers.wholesalers and governments. For additional information on our trade accounts receivables with significant customers, see Note 13B13C below and Note 17B17C in our 20202021 Form 10-K.

As of July 4, 2021,April 3, 2022, the largest investment exposures in our portfolio represent primarily sovereign debt instruments issued by Canada, Japan, U.S., France, Germany, U.K., Canada, France, Denmark, AustraliaSwitzerland, Austria and the Netherlands.

With respect to our derivative financial instrument agreements with financial institutions, we do not expect to incur a significant loss from failure of any counterparty. Derivative financial instruments are executed under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master agreements with credit-support annexes that contain zero threshold provisions requiring collateral to be exchanged daily depending on levels of exposure. As a result, there are no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual financial institution. As of July 4, 2021,April 3, 2022, the aggregate fair value of these derivative financial instruments that are in a net payable position was $618$568 million, for which we have posted collateral of $716$526 million with a corresponding amount reported in Short-term investments. As of July 4, 2021,April 3, 2022, the aggregate fair value of our derivative financial instruments that are in a net receivable position was $35$532 million, for which we have received collateral of $25$341 million with a corresponding amount reported in Short-term borrowings, including current portion of long-term debt.

Note 12. Contingencies and Certain Commitments
We and certain of our subsidiaries are subject to numerous contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business, including tax and legal contingencies. The following outlines our legal contingencies. For a discussion of our tax contingencies, see Note 5B.
A. Legal Proceedings
Our legal contingencies include, but are not limited to, the following:
Patent litigation, which typically involves challenges to the coverage and/or validity of patents on various products, processes or dosage forms. An adverse outcome could result in loss of patent protection for a product, a significant loss of revenues from a product or impairment of the value of associated assets. We are the plaintiff in the majority of these actions. An adverse outcome in actions in which we are the plaintiff could result in loss of patent protection for a drug, a significant loss of revenues from that drug or impairment of the value of associated assets.
Product liability and other product-related litigation related to current or former products, which can include personal injury, consumer, off-label promotion, securities, antitrust and breach of contract claims, among others, and often involves highly complex issues relating to medical causation, label warnings and reliance on those warnings, scientific evidence and findings, actual, provable injury and other matters.
Commercial and other asserted or unasserted matters, which can include acquisition-, licensing-, intellectual property-, collaboration- or co-promotion-related and product-pricing claims and environmental claims and proceedings, can involve complexities that will vary from matter to matter.

PFIZER INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

(UNAUDITED)
Government investigations, which often are related to the extensive regulation of pharmaceutical companies by national, state and local government agencies in the U.S. and in other jurisdictions.
Certain of these contingencies could result in increased expenses and/or losses, including damages, royalty payments, fines and/or civil penalties, which could be substantial, and/or criminal charges.
We believe that our claims and defenses in matters in which we are a defendant are substantial, but litigation is inherently unpredictable and excessive verdicts do occur. We do not believe that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position. However, we could incur judgments, enter into settlements or revise our expectations regarding the

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
outcome of matters, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and/or our cash flows in the period in which the amounts are accrued or paid.
We have accrued for losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Substantially all of our contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss and/or the measurement of any loss can be complex. Consequently, we are unable to estimate the range of reasonably possible loss in excess of amounts accrued. Our assessments, which result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties, are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but that may prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that might cause us to change those estimates and assumptions.
Amounts recorded for legal and environmental contingencies can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. For proceedings under environmental laws to which a governmental authority is a party, we have adopted a disclosure threshold of $1 million in potential or actual governmental monetary sanctions.
The principal pending matters to which we are a party are discussed below. In determining whether a pending matter is a principal matter, we consider both quantitative and qualitative factors to assess materiality, such as, among others, the amount of damages and the nature of other relief sought, if specified; our view of the merits of the claims and of the strength of our defenses; whether the action purports to be, or is, a class action and, if not certified, our view of the likelihood that a class will be certified by the court; the jurisdiction in which the proceeding is pending; whether related actions have been transferred to multidistrict litigation; any experience that we or, to our knowledge, other companies have had in similar proceedings; whether disclosure of the action would be important to a reader of our financial statements, including whether disclosure might change a reader’s judgment about our financial statements in light of all of the information that is available to the reader; the potential impact of the proceeding on our reputation; and the extent of public interest in the matter. In addition, with respect to patent matters in which we are the plaintiff, we consider, among other things, the financial significance of the product protected by the patent(s) at issue. Some of the matters discussed below include those which management believes that the likelihood of possible loss in excess of amounts accrued is remote.
A1. Legal Proceedings––Patent Litigation
We are involved in suits relating to our patents, including but not limited to, those discussed below. Most involve claims by generic drug manufacturers that patents covering our products (or those of our collaboration/licensing partners)partners to which we have licenses or co-promotion rights and to which we may or may not be a party), processes or dosage forms are invalid and/or do not cover the product of the generic drug manufacturer. Also, counterclaims, as well as various independent actions, have been filed alleging that our assertions of, or attempts to enforce, patent rights with respect to certain products constitute unfair competition and/or violations of antitrust laws. In addition to the challenges to the U.S. patents that are discussed below, patent rights to certain of our products or those of our collaboration/licensing partners are being challenged in various other jurisdictions. For example, someSome of our collaboration or licensing partners face challenges to the validity of their patent rights in non-U.S. jurisdictions. For example, in April 2022, the U.K. High Court issued a judgment finding invalid a BMS patent related to Eliquis due to expire in 2026. BMS will seek permission to appeal the High Court’s decision. Additional challenges remain pending in other jurisdictions. We are also party to patent damages suits in various jurisdictions pursuant to which generic drug manufacturers, payers, governments or other parties are seeking damages from us for allegedly causing delay of generic entry. Additionally, our licensing and collaboration partners face challenges by generic drug manufacturers to patents covering products for which we have licenses or co-promotion rights.

We also are often involved in other proceedings, such as inter partes review, post-grant review, re-examination or opposition proceedings, before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the European Patent Office, or other foreign counterparts relating to our intellectual property or the intellectual property rights of others. Also, if one of our patents is found to be invalid by such proceedings, generic or competitive products could be introduced into the market resulting in the erosion of sales of our existing products. For example, several of the patents in our pneumococcal vaccine portfolio were challenged in inter partes review and post-grant review proceedings in the U.S. In 2017, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) initiated proceedings which remain pending, with respect to 2 of our pneumococcal vaccine patents. However, the PTAB declined to initiate proceedings as to two other pneumococcal vaccine patents; those 2 patents, and 1 other patent, are now beingwere challenged in federal court in Delaware. ChallengesIn September 2021, Pfizer and a challenger entered into a settlement and license agreement, resolving all worldwide legal proceedings involving that challenger, related to otherour pneumococcal vaccine patents. Other challenges to pneumococcal vaccine patents remain pending at the PTAB and outside the U.S. The invalidation of any of the patents in our pneumococcal portfolio could potentially allow a competitor’s vaccineadditional competitor vaccines into the marketplace. In the event

that any of the patents are found valid and infringed, a competitor’s vaccine might be prohibited from entering the market or a competitor might be required to pay us a royalty.

We are also subject to patent litigation pursuant to which one or more third parties seek damages and/or injunctive relief to compensate for alleged infringement of its patents by our commercial or other activities. For example, our Hospira subsidiaries

are involved in patent and patent-related disputes over their attempts to bring generic pharmaceutical and biosimilar products to market. If one of our marketed products is found to infringe valid patent rights of a third party, such third party may be awarded significant damages or royalty payments, or we may be prevented from further sales of that product. Such damages may be enhanced as much as three-fold if we or one of our subsidiaries is found to have willfully infringed valid patent rights of a third party.
Actions In Which We Are The Plaintiff

A2. Legal Proceedings––Product Litigation
We are defendants in numerous cases, including but not limited to those discussed below, related to our pharmaceutical and other products. Plaintiffs in these cases seek damages and other relief on various grounds for alleged personal injury and economic loss.
Asbestos
Between 1967 and 1982, Warner-Lambert owned American Optical Corporation (American Optical), which manufactured and sold respiratory protective devices and asbestos safety clothing. In connection with the sale of American Optical in 1982, Warner-Lambert agreed to indemnify the purchaser for certain liabilities, including certain asbestos-related and other claims. Warner-Lambert was acquired by Pfizer in 2000 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer. Warner-Lambert is actively engaged in the defense of, and will continue to explore various means of resolving, these claims.

Numerous lawsuits against American Optical, Pfizer and certain of its previously owned subsidiaries are pending in various federal and state courts seeking damages for alleged personal injury from exposure to products allegedly containing asbestos and other allegedly hazardous materials sold by Pfizer and certain of its previously owned subsidiaries.
There also are a small number of lawsuits pending in various federal and state courts seeking damages for alleged exposure to asbestos in facilities owned or formerly owned by Pfizer or its subsidiaries.
Effexor
Beginning in 2011, actions, including purported class actions, were filed in various federal courts against Wyeth and, in certain of the actions, affiliates of Wyeth and certain other defendants relating to Effexor XR, which is the extended-release formulation of Effexor. The plaintiffs in each of the class actions seek to represent a class consisting of all persons in the U.S. and its territories who directly purchased, indirectly purchased or reimbursed patients for the purchase of Effexor XR or generic Effexor XR from any of the defendants from June 14, 2008 until the time the defendants’ allegedly unlawful conduct ceased. The plaintiffs in all of the actions allege delay in the launch of generic Effexor XR in the U.S. and its territories, in violation of federal antitrust laws and, in certain of the actions, the antitrust, consumer protection and various other laws of certain states, as the result of Wyeth fraudulently obtaining and improperly listing certain patents for Effexor XR in the Orange Book, enforcing certain patents for Effexor XR and entering into a litigation settlement agreement with a generic drug manufacturer with respect

(UNAUDITED)
to Effexor XR. Each of the plaintiffs seeks treble damages (for itself in the individual actions or on behalf of the putative class in the purported class actions) for alleged price overcharges for Effexor XR or generic Effexor XR in the U.S. and its territories since June 14, 2008. All of these actions have been consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
In 2014, the District Court dismissed the direct purchaser plaintiffs’ claims based on the litigation settlement agreement, but declined to dismiss the other direct purchaser plaintiff claims. In 2015, the District Court entered partial final judgments as to all settlement agreement claims, including those asserted by direct purchasers and end-payer plaintiffs, which plaintiffs appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit reversed the District Court’s decisions and remanded the claims to the District Court.
Lipitor
Beginning in 2011, purported class actions relating to Lipitor were filed in various federal courts against, among others, Pfizer, certain Pfizer affiliates, and, in most of the actions, Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd.

The plaintiffs allege delay in the launch of generic Lipitor, in violation of federal antitrust laws and/or state antitrust, consumer protection and various other laws, resulting from (i) the 2008 agreement pursuant to which Pfizer and Ranbaxy settled certain patent litigation involving Lipitor and Pfizer granted Ranbaxy a license to sell a generic version of Lipitor in various markets beginning on varying dates, and (ii) in certain of the actions, the procurement and/or enforcement of certain patents for Lipitor. Each of the actions seeks, among other things, treble damages on behalf of the putative class for alleged price overcharges for Lipitor (or, in certain of the actions, generic Lipitor) during the Class Period. In addition, individual actions have been filed against Pfizer, Ranbaxy and certain of their affiliates, among others, that assert claims and seek relief for the plaintiffs that are substantially similar to the claims asserted and the relief sought in the purported class actions described above. These various actions have been consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a Multi-District Litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.

In July 2021, Pfizer and plaintiffs filed a stipulation of settlement to resolve the Multi-District Litigation for $345 million. The settlement is subject to court approval, and the payment is being made in accordance with the terms of the settlement agreement. Separately, with respect to the 2020 Lawsuit, in July 2021, the District Court granted Pfizer’sdefendants’ motion to dismiss the direct purchaser complaint, without prejudice.

A3. Legal Proceedings––Commercial and Other Matters
Monsanto-Related Matters
In 1997, Monsanto Company (Former Monsanto) contributed certain chemical manufacturing operations and facilities to a newly formed corporation, Solutia Inc. (Solutia), and spun off the shares of Solutia. In 2000, Former Monsanto merged with Pharmacia & Upjohn Company to form Pharmacia. Pharmacia then transferred its agricultural operations to a newly created subsidiary, named Monsanto Company (New Monsanto), which it spun off in a two-stage process that was completed in 2002. Pharmacia was acquired by Pfizer in 2003 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer.
In connection with its spin-off that was completed in 2002, New Monsanto assumed, and agreed to indemnify Pharmacia for, any liabilities related to Pharmacia’s former agricultural business. New Monsanto has defended and/or is defending Pharmacia in connection with various claims and litigation arising out of, or related to, the agricultural business, and has been indemnifying Pharmacia when liability has been imposed or settlement has been reached regarding such claims and litigation.
In connection with its spin-off in 1997, Solutia assumed, and agreed to indemnify Pharmacia for, liabilities related to Former Monsanto’s chemical businesses. As the result of its reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, Solutia’s indemnification obligations relating to Former Monsanto’s chemical businesses are primarily limited to sites that Solutia has owned or operated. In addition, in connection with its spin-off that was completed in 2002, New Monsanto assumed, and agreed to indemnify Pharmacia for, any liabilities primarily related to Former Monsanto’s chemical businesses, including, but not limited to, any such liabilities that Solutia assumed.

In 2019, Pfizer was named as a defendant in a complaint, along with King, filed by Allergan Finance LLC (Allergan) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, asserting claims for indemnity related to Kadian, which was owned for a short period by King in 2008, prior to Pfizer's acquisition of King in 2010. This suit was voluntarily discontinued without prejudice in January 2021.
Breach of Contract––Xalkori/Lorbrena
We are a defendant in a breach of contract action brought by New York University (NYU) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (Supreme Court). NYU alleges that it is entitled to royalties on Pfizer’s sales ofXalkori under the terms of a Research and License Agreement between NYU and Sugen, Inc. Sugen, Inc. was acquired by Pharmacia in August 1999, and Pharmacia was acquired by Pfizer in 2003 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer. The action was originally filed in 2013. In 2015, the Supreme Court dismissed the action and, in 2017, the New York State Appellate Division reversed the decision and remanded the proceedings to the Supreme Court. In January 2020, the Supreme Court denied both parties’ summary judgment motions.Viatris Securities Litigation

increased public interest in the matter could result from government investigations in the U.S. and other jurisdictions in which we do business. These matters often involve government requests for information on a voluntary basis or through subpoenas after which the government may seek additional information through follow-up requests or additional subpoenas.

Greenstone Investigations
U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division Investigation
Since July 2017, the U.S. Department of Justice's Antitrust Division has been investigating our former Greenstone generics business. We believe this is related to an ongoing broader antitrust investigation of the generic pharmaceutical industry. We have produced records relating to this investigation.
State Attorneys General and Multi-District Generics Antitrust Litigation
In April 2018, Greenstone received requests for information from the Antitrust Department of the Connecticut Office of the Attorney General. In May 2019, Attorneys General of more than 40 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico filed a complaint against a number of pharmaceutical companies, including Greenstone and Pfizer. The matter has been consolidated with a Multi-District Litigation in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. As to Greenstone and Pfizer, the complaint alleges anticompetitive conduct in violation of federal and state antitrust laws and state consumer protection laws. In June 2020, the State Attorneys General filed a new complaint against a large number of companies, including Greenstone and Pfizer, making similar allegations, but concerning a new set of drugs. This complaint was transferred to the Multi-District Litigation in July 2020. The Multi-District Litigation also includes civil complaints filed by private plaintiffs and state counties against Pfizer, Greenstone and a significant number of other defendants asserting allegations that generally overlap with those asserted by the State Attorneys General.
Subpoena relating to Manufacturing of Quillivant XR
In October 2018, we received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) seeking records relating to our relationship with another drug manufacturer and its production and manufacturing of drugs including, but not limited to, Quillivant XR. We have produced records pursuant to the subpoena.
Government Inquiries relating to Meridian Medical Technologies
In February 2019, we received a civil investigative demand from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the SDNY. The civil investigative demand seeks records and information related to alleged quality issues involving the manufacture of auto-injectors at ourthe Meridian site. In August 2019, we received a HIPAA subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri seeking similar records and information. We are producing records in response to these requests.
U.S. Department of Justice/SEC Inquiry relating to Russian Operations
In June 2019, we received an informal request from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Unit seeking documents relating to our operations in Russia. In September 2019, we received a similar request from the SEC’s FCPA Unit. We have produced records pursuant to these requests.
Docetaxel––Mississippi Attorney General Government Investigation
See Legal Proceedings––Product Litigation––Docetaxel––Mississippi Attorney General Government Investigation above for information regarding a government investigation related to Docetaxel marketing practices.

In March 2020, we received an informal request from the U.S. Department of Justice's Consumer Protection Branch seeking documents relating to our manufacturing operations in India, including at our former facility located at Irrungattukottai in India. In April 2020, we received a similar request from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the SDNY regarding a civil investigation concerning operations at our facilities in India. We are producing records pursuant to these requests.
U.S. Department of Justice/SEC Inquiry relating to China Operations
In June 2020, we received an informal request from the U.S. Department of Justice's FCPA Unit seeking documents relating to our operations in China. In August 2020, we received a similar request from the SEC’s FCPA Unit. We are producing records pursuant to these requests.

Contingencies and Certain Commitments: Legal Proceedings––Product Litigation––Zantac above for information regarding civil actions separately filed by the State of New Mexico and the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore alleging various state statutory and common law claims in connection with the defendants’ alleged sale of Zantac in those jurisdictions.
B. Guarantees and Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business and in connection with the sale of assets and businesses and other transactions, we often indemnify our counterparties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with the transaction or that are related to events and activities prior to or following a transaction. If the indemnified party were to make a successful claim pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, we may be required to reimburse the loss. These indemnifications are generally subject to various restrictions and limitations. See Note 2C for a description of the March 2022 indemnity provided by Pfizer to GSK in connection with the issuance of notes by the Consumer Healthcare JV. Historically, we have not paid significant amounts under these provisions and, as of July 4, 2021,April 3, 2022, the estimated fair value of these indemnification obligations wasis not significant.

In addition, in connection with our entry into certain agreements and other transactions, our counterparties may agreebe obligated to indemnify us. For example, our collaboration agreement with EMD Serono, Inc. to co-promote Rebif in the U.S. expired at the end of 2015 and included certain indemnity provisions. Patent litigation brought by Biogen Idec MA Inc. against EMD Serono Inc. and Pfizer is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. EMD Serono Inc. has acknowledged that it is obligated to satisfy any award of damages. In addition, in November 2020, we and Mylan completed the transaction to spin-off our Upjohn Business and combine it with Mylan to form Viatris. As part of the transaction and as previously disclosed, each of Viatris and Pfizer has agreed to assume, and to indemnify Pfizerthe other for, liabilities arising out of certain matters. Also, our global agreement with BioNTech to co-develop a mRNA-based coronavirus vaccine program, BNT162b2, aimed at preventing COVID-19 infection, includes certain indemnity provisions pursuant to which each of BioNTech and Pfizer has agreed to indemnify the other for certain liabilities that may arise in connection with certain third-party claims relating to Comirnaty.
We have also guaranteed the long-term debt of certain companies that we acquired and that now are subsidiaries of Pfizer. See Note 7D.
C. Contingent Consideration for Acquisitions
We may be required to make payments to sellers for certain prior business combinations that are contingent upon future events or outcomes. For additional information, see Note 1D1E in our 20202021 Form 10-K.

We manage our commercial operations through 2 operating segments: Biopharma and PC1. The Biopharma and PC1 segments are each led by a single manager. Biopharma is the only reportable segment. Biopharma is a science-based medicines business that includes six therapeutic areas – Vaccines, Hospital, Oncology, Internal Medicine, Rare Disease, and Inflammation & Immunology. The Hospital therapeutic area commercializes our global portfolio of sterile injectable and anti-infective medicines, as well as an oral COVID-19 treatment.
WeEach operating segment has responsibility for its commercial activities. Regional commercial organizations market, distribute and sell our collaboration partner, BioNTech, have entered into agreements toproducts and are supported by global platform functions that are responsible for the research, development, manufacturing and supply pre-specified doses of BNT162b2 with multipleour products and global corporate enabling functions. Biopharma receives its R&D services from WRDM and GPD. These services include IPR&D projects for new investigational products and additional indications for in-line products. Each operating segment has a geographic footprint across developed and emerging nations aroundmarkets. Our chief operating decision maker uses the worldrevenues and are continuing to deliver doses of BNT162b2 under such agreements. We currently sell the BNT162b2 vaccine directly to government and government sponsored customers. This includes supply agreements entered into in November 2020 and February and May 2021 with the European Commission (EC) on behalfearnings of the different EU member statesoperating segments, among other factors, for performance evaluation and resource allocation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS’SMANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW OF OUR PERFORMANCE, OPERATING ENVIRONMENT, STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
Our Business and Strategy
Most of our revenues come from the manufacture and sale of biopharmaceutical products. With the formation of the Consumer Healthcare JV in 2019 and the completion of the spin-off and combination of our Upjohn Business with Mylan in November 2020, Pfizer has transformed into a focused, global leader in science-based innovative medicines and vaccines. We operate as a single operating segment engaged in the discovery, development, manufacturing, marketing, sale and distribution of biopharmaceutical products worldwide. The financial results of the Upjohn Business and the Mylan-Japan collaboration are reflected as discontinued operations. Prior-period information has been restated to reflect our current organization structure. We expect to incur costs of approximately $700 million in connection with separating Upjohn, of which approximately 75% has been incurred since inception and through the second quarter of 2021. These charges include costs and expenses related to separation of legal entities and transaction costs.
For additional information about our business, strategy and operating environment, see the Item 1. Business section and Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook section within MD&A of our 2020 Form 10-K.
References to operational variances pertain to period-over-period changes that exclude the impact of foreign exchange rates. Although foreign exchange rate changes are part of our business, they are not within our control and since they can mask positive or negative trends in the business, we believe presenting operational variances excluding these foreign exchange changes provides useful information to evaluate our results.
Our Business and Strategy
We apply science and our global resources to bring therapies to people that extend and significantly improve their lives through the discovery, development, manufacture, marketing, sale and distribution of biopharmaceutical products worldwide. At the beginning of our fiscal fourth quarter of 2021, we reorganized our commercial operations and began to manage our commercial operations through a new global structure consisting of two operating segments: Biopharma and PC1. Biopharma is the only reportable segment. See Note 1A. We expect to incur costs of approximately $700 million in connection with separating Upjohn, of which, approximately 80% has been incurred since inception and through the first quarter of 2022. These charges include costs and expenses related to separation of legal entities and transaction costs.
For additional information about our business, strategy and operating environment, see the Item 1. Business section and Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook section within MD&A of our 2021 Form 10-K.
Our Business Development Initiatives
We are committed to strategically capitalizing on growth opportunities, primarily by advancing our own product pipeline and maximizing the value of our existing products, as well asbut also through various business development activities.
Our significant recent business development activities include:include the transactions discussed in Note 2 and the following:
Collaboration with Arvinas, Inc. (Arvinas)Acquisition of Biohaven––In July 2021,May 2022, we and Biohaven announced a global collaboration with Arvinas to developthat the companies entered into an agreement under which we will acquire Biohaven, the maker of Nurtec® ODT (rimegepant), an innovative dual-acting migraine therapy approved for both acute treatment and commercialize ARV-471, an investigational oral PROTAC® (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) estrogen receptor protein degrader. The estrogen receptor is a well-known disease driverepisodic prevention of migraine in most breast cancers. ARV-471 is currently in a Phase 2 dose expansion clinical trial for the treatment of patients with estrogen receptor positive / human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (ER+/HER2-) locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.adults. Under the terms of the collaboration agreement, we made an upfront payment to Arvinas of $650 million in July 2021. Separately, we will make a $350 million equity investment in Arvinas, receiving approximately 3.5 million newly issuedacquire all outstanding common shares of ArvinasBiohaven not already owned by us for $148.50 per share, in cash. The proposed transaction includes the acquisition of Biohaven’s CGRP programs, including rimegepant, zavegepant and a portfolio of five pre-clinical CGRP assets. Biohaven common stock, pricedshareholders, including Pfizer, will also receive 0.5 of a share of New Biohaven, a new publicly traded company that will retain Biohaven’s non-CGRP development stage pipeline compounds, per Biohaven common share. Pfizer will pay transaction consideration totaling approximately $11.6 billion in cash. Pfizer will also make payments at a 30% premiumclosing to settle Biohaven’s third party debt and for the 30-day volume weighted average priceredemption of all outstanding shares of Biohaven’s redeemable preferred stock.

Our Operating Environment

We, like other businesses in our industry, are subject to certain industry-specific challenges. These include, among others, the topics listed below, as well as in the Item 1. Business––Government Regulation and inPrice Constraints and Item 1A. Risk Factors sections,and the Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook––Our Operating Environment section of the MD&Aof our 20202021 Form 10-K.
Intellectual Property Rights and Collaboration/Licensing Rights
––The loss, expiration or invalidation of intellectual property rights, patent litigation settlements with manufacturers and the expiration of co-promotion and licensing rights can have a material adverse effect on our revenues. Certain of our products have experienced patent-based expirations or loss of regulatory exclusivity in certain markets in the last few years, and we expect certain products to face significantly increased generic competition over the next few years. For example, the basic product patent for Chantix in the U.S. expired in November 2020. While multi-source generic competition for Chantix has not yet begun, it could commence at any time. Also, the basic product patent for Sutent in the U.S. will expire on August 15, 2021. While additional patent expiries will continue, we expect a moderate impact of reduced revenues due to patent expiries from 20212022 through 2025. Further, legal or regulatory action by various stakeholders or governments could potentially result in us not seeking intellectual property protection for or agreeing not to enforce or being restricted from enforcing intellectual property related to our products. For example, in May 2021, the Brazilian Supreme Court voted to invalidate Article 40 of Brazil’s Patent Law, which guaranteed a minimum 10-year patent term from patent grant, and to give retroactive effect to such decision. We continue to vigorously defend our patent rights against infringement, and we will continue to support efforts that strengthen worldwide recognition of patent rights while taking necessary steps to help ensure appropriate patient access.

For additional information on patent rights we consider most significant in relation to our business as a whole, see the Item 1. Business––Patents and Other Intellectual Property Rights section of our 20202021 Form 10-K. For a discussion of recent developments with respect to patent litigation, see Note 12A1.
Regulatory Environment/Pricing and Access––Government and Other Payer Group Pressures
The pricing of medicines and vaccines by pharmaceutical manufacturers and the cost of healthcare, which includes medicines, vaccines, medical services and hospital services, continues to be important to payers, governments, patients, and other stakeholders. Federal and state governments and––Governments globally, as well as private third-party payers in the U.S. continue to take action to manage the utilization of drugs and cost of drugs, including increasingly employing formularies to control costs by taking into account discounts in connection with decisions about formulary inclusion or favorable formulary placement. We consider a number of factors impacting the pricing of our medicines and vaccines. Within the U.S., we often engage with patients, doctors and healthcare plans. We also often provide significant discounts from the list price to insurers, including PBMs and MCOs. The price that patients pay in the U.S. for prescribed medicines and vaccines is ultimately set by healthcare providers and insurers.
38


Governments globally may use a variety of measures to control costs, including, among others, proposing pricing reform or legislation,employing formularies to control costs, cross country collaboration and procurement, price cuts, mandatory rebates, health technology assessments, forced localization as a condition of market access, “international reference pricing” (i.e., the practice of a country linking its regulated medicine prices to those of other countries), quality consistency evaluation processes and volume-based procurement. In the U.S., we expect to see continued focus by Congress and the Biden Administration on regulating pricing resulting in legislative and regulatory efforts designed to control costs. We anticipate that these and similar initiatives will continue to increase pricing pressures globally. For additional information, see the Item 1. Business––Pricing Pressures and Managed Care Organizations and ––Government Regulation and Price Constraints sections in our 20202021 Form 10-K and the Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook––Our Operating Environment section of the MD&A in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Product Supply
––We periodically encounter supply delays, disruptions and shortages, including due to a voluntary recall of a product. In July 2021, Pfizer issued a voluntary recall in the U.S. for 12 lots of Chantix due to the presence of a nitrosamine, N-nitroso-varenicline, above the Pfizer-established acceptable daily intake level. Nitrosamines are impurities which are common in water and foods and everyone is exposed to some level of nitrosamines.product recalls. In response to requests from various regulatory authorities, manufacturers across the pharmaceutical industry, including Pfizer, have beenare evaluating their product portfolios for the potential for the presence or formation of nitrosamines. This has led to recalls, including our voluntary recall of Chantix in 2021 and additional voluntary recalls initiated for other products in 2022 due to the presence of nitrosamines in pharmaceuticalabove the applicable acceptable intake limit, and may lead to additional recalls or other market actions for Pfizer products. We are currently undertaking an evaluation of our entire portfolio. For information on our Chantix recall in 2021 and risks related to product manufacturing, see the Item 1A. Risk Factors––Product Manufacturing, Sales and Marketing Risks section of our 20202021 Form 10-K.
The Global Economic Environment
In addition to the industry-specific factors discussed above, we, like other businesses of our size and global extent of activities, are exposed to the economic cycle.cycles. For additional information, please see the Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook––The Global Economic Environment section of the MD&A of our 20202021 Form 10-K.
COVID-19 Pandemic

Russia/Ukraine Conflict––Our global operations may be impacted by certain factors in the global economic environment including impacts of political or civil unrest or military action, including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. To date, the financial impacts of the conflict have not been material to our consolidated financial statements. For both the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2022, the business of our Russia and Ukraine subsidiaries represented less than 1% of our consolidated revenues and assets. In March 2022, we announced certain steps we are taking in response to the conflict, which are being taken in addition to the company’s adherence to global sanctions. Consistent with our commitment to putting patients first, we are maintaining the supply of medicines to Russia, including the provision of needed medicines to patients already enrolled in clinical trials. Effective March 14, 2022, Pfizer is donating all profits of our Russian subsidiary to causes that provide direct humanitarian support to the people of Ukraine, in addition to the company’s ongoing efforts to support the humanitarian response in the region. Additionally, we will no longer initiate new clinical trials in Russia, will stop recruiting new patients in our ongoing clinical trials in the country, and will cease all future investments with local suppliers intended to build manufacturing capacity in Russia. While we are monitoring the effects of the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the broader economic consequences of the conflict, including its potential future impact on our business, are currently difficult to predict. Regional instability, geopolitical shifts, potential additional sanctions and other restrictive measures against Russia, neighboring countries or allies of Russia, and any retaliatory measures taken by Russia, neighboring countries or allies of Russia, in response to such measures could adversely affect the global macroeconomic environment, our operations, currency exchange rates and financial markets, which could in turn adversely impact our business.

COVID-19 Pandemic––The continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our business, operations and financial condition and results.
Our Response to COVID-19
We are committedPfizer has helped lead the global effort to confrontingconfront the public health challenge posed by theCOVID-19 pandemic by collaborating with industry partners,advancing a vision for industry-wide collaboration while making significant investments in breakthrough science and global regulators and academic institutions to develop potential approaches to prevent and treat COVID-19. We have made some important advances, including, among others:manufacturing.
COVID-19 Vaccine Development ProgramComirnaty/BNT162b2:
The FDA has authorized the distribution and use of We have collaborated with BioNTech to jointly develop Comirnaty/BNT162b2, in the U.S.a mRNA-based coronavirus vaccine to help prevent COVID-19 for individuals 12 years of age and older under an EUA. BNT162b2 has not been approved or licensed byCOVID-19. For additional information, see the FDA. The EUA authorizes distribution and useProduct Developments section of this product subject to the conditions set forth in the EUA, and only for the duration of the declaration by the Department of Health & Human Services that circumstances exist justifying authorization of emergency use of drugs and biological products (such as BNT162b2) during the COVID-19 pandemic under Section 564 of the U.S. Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the Declaration), or until revocation of the EUA by the FDA. The FDA has issued EUAs to certain other companies for products intended for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 and may continue to do so during the duration of the Declaration. The FDA expects EUA holders to work towards submission of a BLA as soon as possible. In May 2021, we and BioNTech completed the rolling submission of the BLA seeking full approval for BNT162b2 in individuals 16 years and older. In July 2021, the FDA granted Priority Review designation for this BLA. The PDUFA goal date for this BLA is set for January 2022, but the FDA may potentially act sooner. BNT162b2 has been granted a CMA, EUA or temporary authorization in many other countries around the world.MD&A. We continue to study vaccines to help prevent COVID-19,evaluate our vaccine, including evaluatingfor additional pediatric and maternal indications, for BNT162b2, assessingand the short- and long-term efficacy of BNT162b2,Comirnaty. We are also studying vaccinesvaccine candidates to potentially prevent COVID-19 caused by new and emerging variants and potentially developing booster doses or an updated vaccine as needed.
Based on current projections, we and BioNTech expect to manufacture in total up to 3 billion doses by the end of December 2021, subject to continuous process improvements, expansion at current facilities and adding new suppliers and contract manufacturers. The companies have entered into agreements to supply pre-specified doses of BNT162b2Comirnaty in 2022 with multiple developed and emerging nationscountries around the world and are continuing to deliver doses of BNT162b2Comirnaty to governments under such agreements. We also signed agreements with the U.S., the EU, Israel and Canadamultiple countries to supply BNT162b2Comirnaty doses in 2022 and beyond2023 and are currently negotiating similar potential agreements with multiple other countries. We anticipate delivering at least two billion doses to low- and middle-income countries by the end of 2022—one billion that was delivered in 2021 and one billion expected to be delivered in 2022, with the possibility to increase those deliveries if more orders are placed by these countries for 2022. One billion of the aforementioned doses to low- and middle-income countries are being supplied to the U.S. government at a not-for-profit price to be donated to the world’s poorest nations at no charge to those countries.
As of July 28, 2021, based on the 2.1 billion doses that are expected to be delivered in 2021 under agreements that have been signed through mid-July 2021,May 3, 2022, we forecasted approximately $33.5$32 billion in revenues for Comirnaty in 2021 from BNT162b2,2022, with

gross profit to be split evenly with BioNTech. This forecast may be adjusted in the future as additional agreements are signed and as circumstances warrant, and does not include the additional 200 millionBioNTech, which includes doses we announced on July 23, 2021 that we will deliver to the U.S. Government, of which 110 million doses are expected to be delivered from October to December 2021. We anticipate that a significant amountin fiscal 2022 under contracts signed as of the remaining 2021 vaccine manufacturing capacity will be delivered to middle- and low-income countries where we price in line with income levels or at a not-for-profit price.mid-April 2022.
COVID-19 Protease InhibitorsPaxlovid:
In JulyDecember 2021, we initiatedthe FDA authorized the emergency use of Paxlovid, a Phase 2/3 study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of an investigational, novel oral antiviral therapeuticCOVID-19 treatment, for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 PF-07321332, which is a SARS-CoV2-3CL protease inhibitor.in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg [88 lbs]) with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death. Paxlovid has been granted an authorization or approval in many other countries. For additional information, see the Product Developments section of this MD&A.
We also have completedcontinue to evaluate Paxlovid in other populations, including in patients with a Phase 1b clinical trial for an intravenously administered investigational protease inhibitorconfirmed diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection who are at standard risk (i.e., low risk of hospitalization or death) (Phase 2/3 EPIC-SR (Evaluation of Protease Inhibition for COVID-19 PF-07304814. Following recent communicationsin Standard Risk Patients)) and in non-hospitalized, symptomatic, pediatric patients with the FDA, we anticipate the initiationa confirmed diagnosis of a PhaseCOVID-19 who are at risk of progression to severe disease (Phase 2/3 study, EPIC-PEDS (Evaluation of PF-07304814Protease Inhibition for COVID-19 in Pediatric Patients)). In April 2022, Pfizer announced that the third quarterprimary endpoint of 2021.

share intellectual property related to our oral COVID-19 treatment to enable qualified generic medicine manufacturers worldwide to manufacture and supply generic versions of this treatment to 95 low- and middle-income countries, pending authorization or approval, covering up to approximately 53% of the world’s population. MPP has entered into sublicense agreements with 36 generic manufacturers. In addition, in March 2022, Pfizer entered into an agreement with UNICEF to supply up to 4 million treatment courses of Paxlovid to 95 low- and middle-income countries, pending authorization or approval.
Pfizer has capacity to manufacture up to 120 million treatment courses by the end of 2022 (and is significant, and there canon track to produce 30 million courses in the first half of 2022 with the ability to produce the remaining 90 million courses in the second half of 2022), depending on the global need, which will be no certainty these efforts will yield a successful productdriven by purchase agreements.
As of May 3, 2022, we forecasted approximately $22 billion of revenues for Paxlovid in 2022, which includes treatment courses expected to be delivered in fiscal 2022, primarily relating to supply contracts signed or that costs will ultimately be recouped.committed as of mid-April 2022.
Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business and Operations
As part of our on-going monitoring and assessment, we have made certain assumptions regarding the pandemic for purposes of our operational planning and financial projections, including assumptions regarding the duration, severity and the global macroeconomic impact of the pandemic, as well as COVID-19 vaccine and oral COVID-19 treatment revenues, supply and contracts, which remain dynamic. Despite careful tracking and planning, we are unable to accurately predict the extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business, operations and financial condition and results due to the uncertainty of future developments. We are focused on all aspects of our business and are implementing measures aimed at mitigating issues where possible, including by using digital technology to assist in operations for our commercial, manufacturing, R&D and corporate enabling functions globally.
As discussed in our 20202021 Form 10-K, apart from our introduction of Comirnaty/BNT162b2 and Paxlovid, our business and operations were impacted in 2020 by the pandemic in various ways; certain of those impacts have continued in 2021.2022. For additional detail and discussion on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on certain of our products, sales and marketing, supply chain and clinical trials, see the Analysis of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income—Revenues by Geography andRevenues—Selected Product Discussion sections within this MD&A. In 2021, we have continued not to see a significant disruption to our supply chain to date,&A and allthe Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook—The Global Economic Environment—COVID-19 Pandemic section of the MD&A of our manufacturing sites globally have continued to operate at or near normal levels. However, we are seeing an increase in overall demand in the industry for certain components and raw materials potentially constraining available supply, which could have a future impact on our business. We are continuing to monitor and implement mitigation strategies in an effort to reduce any potential impact.2021 Form 10-K.
We will continue to pursue efforts to maintain the continuity of our operations while monitoring for new developments related to the pandemic. Future developments could result in additional favorable or unfavorable impacts on our business, operations or financial condition and results. If we experience significant disruption in our manufacturing or supply chains or significant disruptions in clinical trials or other operations, or if demand for our products is significantly reduced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, or if demand for our COVID-19 vaccine or oral COVID-19 treatment is reduced or no longer exists, we could experience a material adverse impact on our business, operations and financial condition and results.
For additional information, please see the Item 1A. Risk Factors—COVID-19 Pandemic section and the Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook section of the MD&A of our 20202021 Form 10-K.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
For a description of our significant accounting policies, see Note 1 in our 20202021 Form 10-K. Of these policies, the following are considered critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements as they require the application of the most subjective and the most complex judgments: Acquisitions (Note 1D1E); Fair Value (Note 1E1F); Revenues (Note 1G1H); Asset Impairments (Note 1L1M); Tax Assets and Liabilities and Income Tax Contingencies (Note 1P1Q); Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans (Note 1Q1R); and Legal and Environmental Contingencies (Note 1R1S).

Lower revenues for Enbrel and Chantix/Champix. The decrease for Enbrel internationally primarily reflects continued biosimilar competition in most developed Europe markets and Japan, which is expected to continue. The decrease in Chantix/Champix was driven by the U.S. and primarily reflects a negative impact on available supply related to the voluntary recall of certain lots of product following the discovery of the presence of a nitrosamine, N-nitroso-varenicline, above the Pfizer-established acceptable daily intake level and a hold on distribution of new product pending additional testing, as well as the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in a decline in patient visits to doctors for preventative health purposes and the loss of patent protection in the U.S. in November 2020(119)(41)(77)

Lower revenues for Chantix/Champix, Sutent and Enbrel:
The decrease in Chantix/Champix was driven by the ongoing global pause in shipments of Chantix due to the presence of N-nitroso-varenicline above an acceptable level of intake set by various global regulators, the ultimate timing for resolution of which may vary by country
The decrease for Sutent primarily reflects lower volume demand in the U.S. resulting from its loss of exclusivity in August 2021, as well as continued erosion as a result of increased competition in certain international developed markets
The decrease for Enbrel internationally primarily reflects continued biosimilar competition, which is expected to continue

Revenue Deductions
––Our gross product revenues are subject to a variety of deductions, which generally are estimated and recorded in the same period that the revenues are recognized. These deductions represent estimates of related obligations and, as such, knowledge and judgment are required when estimating the impact of these revenue deductions on gross sales for a reporting period. Historically, adjustments to these estimates to reflect actual results or updated expectations, have not been material to our overall business and generally have been less than 1% of revenues. Product-specific rebates, however, can have a significant impact on year-over-year individual product revenue growth trends.

U.S. growth in the adult indication, primarily due to higher levels of healthcare activity and wellness visits compared to the prior-year quarter, as described above, partially offset by the impact of a lower remaining eligible unvaccinated population,
This growth was partially offset by:
decline in developed Europe, reflecting significantly increased adult demand in the prior-year quarter in Germany and certain other markets resulting from greater vaccine awareness for respiratory illnesses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

YTD decline primarily resulting from:
impact of the revised ACIP recommendation for the adult indication to shared clinical decision making, which means the decision to vaccinate should be made at the individual level between healthcare providers and their patients, as well as the continued impact of a lower remaining eligible adult population; and

*For the U.S., the filing date is the date on which the FDA accepted our submission. For the EU, the filing date is the date on which the EMA validated our submission.
(a)Being developed in collaboration with BioNTech. Prior to BLA, Comirnaty/BNT162b2 for ages 16 and up was available in the U.S. pursuant to an EUA from the FDA on December 11, 2020. In JulyDecember 2021, a supplemental BLA was submitted to the FDA requesting to expand the approval of Comirnaty to include individuals ages 12 through 15 years. In February 2022, following a request from the FDA, a rolling submission seeking to amend the EUA to include children 6 months through 4 years of age (6 months to <5 years of age) was initiated as we wait for data evaluating a third 3 µg dose given at least two months after the second dose of the two-dose series in this age group. A booster dose received EUA from the FDA on September 22, 2021 for individuals 65 years of age and older, individuals 18 through 64 years of age at high risk of severe COVID-19, and individuals 18 through 64 years of age with frequent institutional or occupational exposure to SARS-CoV-2. In addition, in October 2021, the FDA granted Priority Review designationauthorized for emergency use a booster dose to eligible individuals who have completed primary vaccination with a different authorized
42


COVID-19 vaccine. Subsequently, the BLA for PF-07302048 or BNT162b2FDA expanded the booster EUA: (i) in November 2021 to prevent COVID-19include individuals 18 years of age and older, (ii) in December 2021 to include individuals 16 years of age and older, (iii) in January 2022 to include individuals 12 years of age and older as well as individuals 5 through 11 years of age who have been determined to have certain kinds of immunocompromise and (iv) in March 2022 to include a second booster dose in adults ages 50 years and older who have previously received a first booster of any authorized COVID-19 vaccine and a second booster dose for individuals 12 years of age and older who have been determined to have certain kinds of immunocompromise and who have received a first booster dose of any authorized COVID-19 vaccine. A booster dose received conditional marketing authorization from the EMA in October 2021 for individuals 18 years of age and older and may be given to individuals 5 years and older with a severely weakened immune system, at least 28 days after their second dose. Subsequently, the EMA expanded the booster CMA in February 2022 to include individuals 12 years of age and older. The PDUFA goal dateA booster dose received approval in Japan in November 2021 for a decision by18 years of age and older. In April 2022, we and BioNTech submitted an application to the FDA is in January 2022.for EUA of a booster dose for children 5 through 11 years of age.
(b)Being developed in collaboration with Merck KGaA, Germany.Myovant. In May 2022, the FDA extended the review period for the sNDA for Myfembree (relugolix fixed dose combination) for the management of moderate to severe pain associated with endometriosis. The FDA requires extended time to review additional information requested by the FDA from the companies regarding bone mineral density. The extended Prescription Drug User Fee Act goal date is August 6, 2022.
(c)Erbitux® is a registered trademark of ImClone LLC. In the EU, we are developing in collaboration with the Pierre Fabre Group. In Japan, we are developing in collaboration with Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
(d)Being developed in collaboration with Astellas.
(e)The FDA has notified the company that it will not meet the PDUFA goal dates for the New Drug Application for abrocitinib and the supplemental New Drug Application for Xeljanz/Xeljanz XR (tofacitinib). The FDA cited its ongoing review of Pfizer's post-marketing safety study, ORAL Surveillance, evaluating tofacitinib in rheumatoid arthritis patients, as a factor for the extensions.
(f)Being developed in collaboration with Lilly. In March 2021, the FDA Joint Arthritis Advisory Committee and Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee on tanezumab resulted in a 19:1 against vote on whether the proposed risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) for tanezumab will ensure benefits outweigh risks.
(g)Being developed in collaboration with Myovant.
(h)Being developed in collaboration with OPKO. In January 2022, Pfizer and OPKO received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the FDA for the BLA for somatrogon. Discussions are ongoing with the FDA regarding the CRL and how to best address their concerns.
(i)(d)TheIn October 2021, the CDC’s ACIP voted to recommend Prevnar 20 for routine use in adults. Specifically, the ACIP voted to recommend the following: (i) adults 65 years of age or older who have not previously received a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine or whose previous vaccination history is expected to meetunknown should receive a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (either pneumococcal 20-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV20) or pneumococcal 15-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV15)). If PCV15 is used, this should be followed by a dose of pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23); and (ii) adults aged 19 years of age or older with certain underlying medical conditions or other risk factors who have not previously received a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine or whose previous vaccination history is unknown should receive a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (either PCV20 or PCV15). If PCV15 is used, this should be followed by a dose of PPSV23. The recommendations were published in Octoberthe Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report on January 28, 2022. The publication also notes “for adults who have received pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) but have not completed their recommended pneumococcal vaccine series with PPSV23, one dose of Prevnar 20 may be used if PPSV23 is not available.”
(e)In December 2021, to discuss and update recommendations on the safe and appropriateFDA authorized the emergency use of pneumococcal vaccinesPaxlovid for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in adults.adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg [88 lbs]) with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death. In January 2022, the EMA approved the CMA of Paxlovid for treating COVID-19 in adults who do not require supplemental oxygen and who are at increased risk of the disease becoming severe.
(f)Under a commercialization arrangement with Biohaven.
In December 2021, in light of the results from the completed required postmarketing safety study of Xeljanz, ORAL Surveillance (A3921133), the U.S. label for Xeljanz was revised. In addition, at the request of the EC, the PRAC of the EMA has adopted a referral procedure under Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 to assess safety information relating to oral JAK inhibitors authorized for inflammatory diseases, including Xeljanz and Cibinqo, which is ongoing. For additional information, see Item 1A. Risk Factors—Post-Authorization/Approval Data and the Product Development sections of our 2021 Form 10-K.
In China, the following products received regulatory approvals in the last twelve months: Cresemba for fungal infection and Besponsa for second line acute lymphoblastic leukemia, both in December 2021; Paxlovid for COVID-19 infection in February 2022; Cibinqo for atopic dermatitis in April 2022.

Additionally, the payout for Performance Share Awardsperformance share awards is determined in part by Adjusted net income, which is derived from Adjusted income. Starting withBeginning in the 2020first quarter of 2022, we no longer exclude any expenses for acquired IPR&D from our non-GAAP Adjusted results but we continue to exclude certain of these expenses for our financial results for

annual incentive compensation purposes. The bonus pool funding, which is largely based on financial performance, yearwill be modified by our R&D performance as measured by four metrics relating to our pipeline and consistent with shareholder feedback received in 2019, theperformance against our environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics and may be further modified by our Compensation CommitteeCommittee’s assessment of the BOD approved adding an R&D pipeline achievement factor to the existing short-term incentive financial metrics.other factors.
Adjusted income and its components and Adjusted diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures that have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, are limited in their usefulness to investors. Because of their non-standardized definitions, they may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies and are presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance. A limitation of these measures is that they provide a view of our operations without including all events during a period, and do not provide a comparable view of our performance to peers. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for their most directly comparable GAAP measures of Net income attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders, components of Net income attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders and EPS attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders—diluted, respectively. See the accompanying reconciliations of certain GAAP reported to non-GAAP adjusted information for the second quarters and first six months of 2021 and 2020 below.
We also recognize that, as internal measures of performance, these measures have limitations, and we do not restrict our performance-management process solely to these measures. We also use other tools designed to achieve the highest levels of performance. For example, our R&D organization has productivity targets, upon which its effectiveness is measured. In addition, total shareholder return, both on an absolute basis and relative to a publicly traded pharmaceutical index, plays a significant role in determining payouts under certain of our incentive compensation plans.
Purchase Accounting Adjustments
Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, our reconciliation of certain GAAP reported to non-GAAP adjusted information is updated to reflect the following, and prior period information has been revised to conform to the current period presentation:

Adjusted income excludes certain significant purchase accounting impacts resulting from business combinationsIncome and netAdjusted Diluted EPS
Acquired IPR&D—Non-GAAP Adjusted financial measures include expenses for all acquired IPR&D costs incurred in connection with upfront and milestone payments on collaboration and in-license agreements, including premiums on equity securities, as well as asset acquisitions. These impacts can include the incremental charge to cost of sales from the saleacquisitions of acquired inventoryIPR&D. Previously, certain of these items were excluded from our non-GAAP adjusted results. Acquired IPR&D expenses that was written uppreviously would have been excluded from non-GAAP Adjusted income but are now included in both GAAP Reported income and non-GAAP Adjusted income were approximately $339 million pre-tax ($276 million, net of tax), or $0.05 per share, in the first quarter of 2022, and had no impact in the first quarter of 2021.
Amortization of Intangible Assets—We began excluding all amortization of intangibles from non-GAAP Adjusted income, compared to fair value,excluding only amortization of intangibles related to large mergers or acquisitions under the increaseprior methodology, and presenting it as a separate reconciling line. Previously, the adjustment under the prior methodology was included as part of a reconciling line entitled “Purchase accounting adjustments” that we no longer separately present. The impact of this policy change resulted in fair valuebenefits of $0.01 on Adjusted diluted EPS in the acquired finite-lived intangible assets,first quarter of 2022 and to a much lesser extent, depreciation related to$0.02 in the increase/decrease in fair valuefirst quarter of the acquired fixed assets, amortization related to the increase in fair value of acquired debt, and the fair value changes for contingent consideration. Therefore, the 2021.
Acquisition-Related ItemsAdjusted income measure includes the revenues earned upon the sale of the acquired products without considering the acquisition cost of those products.
Acquisition-Related Items
Adjusted income excludescontinues to exclude acquisition-related items, which are comprised of transaction, integration, restructuring charges and additional depreciation costs for business combinations because these costs are unique to each transaction and represent costs
49


that were incurred to restructure and integrate businesses as a result of an acquisition. We have made no adjustments for resulting synergies. Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, acquisition-related items may now include the following purchase accounting impacts that previously would have been included as part of a reconciling line entitled “Purchase accounting adjustments” that we no longer separately present: (i) the incremental charge to cost of sales from the sale of acquired inventory that was written up to fair value, (ii) depreciation related to the increase/decrease in fair value of acquired fixed assets, (iii) amortization related to the increase in fair value of acquired debt and (iv) the fair value changes for contingent consideration.
Discontinued Operations
Adjusted income excludescontinues to exclude the results of discontinued operations, as well as any related gains or losses on the disposal of such operations. We believe that this presentation is meaningful to investors because, while we review our therapeutic areas and product lines for strategic fit with our operations, we do not build or run our business with the intent to discontinue parts of our business. Restatements due to discontinued operations do not impact compensation or change the Adjusted income measure for the compensation in respect of the restated periods, but are presented for consistency across all periods.

Certain Significant Items
Adjusted income excludescontinues to exclude certain significant items representing substantive and/or unusual items that are evaluated individually on a quantitative and qualitative basis. Certain significant items may be highly variable and difficult to predict. Furthermore, in some cases it is reasonably possible that they could reoccur in future periods. For example, although major non-acquisition-related cost-reduction programs are specific to an event or goal with a defined term, we may have subsequent programs based on reorganizations of the business, cost productivity or in response to LOE or economic conditions. Legal charges to resolve litigation are also related to specific cases, which are facts and circumstances specific and, in some cases, may also be the result of litigation matters at acquired companies that were inestimable, not probable or unresolved at the date of acquisition. Gains and losses on equity securities, and pension and postretirement actuarial
47


remeasurement gains and losses have a very high degree of inherent market volatility, which we do not control and cannot predict with any level of certainty and because we do not believe including these gains and losses assists investors in understanding our business or is reflective of our core operations and business. Unusual items represent items that are not part of our ongoing business; items that, either as a result of their nature or size, we would not expect to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis; items that would be non-recurring; or items that relate to products we no longer sell. For

Beginning in 2021, we exclude pension and postretirement actuarial remeasurement gains and losses from our measure of Adjusted income because of their inherent market volatility, which we do not control and cannot predict with any level of certainty and because we do not believe including these gains and losses assists investors in understanding our business or is reflective of our core operations and business.

Operating activities from continuing operationsOperating activities from continuing operations$15,828 $4,829 
The change is driven primarily by higher net income and advance payments in 2021 for BNT162b2 recorded in deferred revenue and the impact of timing of receipts and payments in the ordinary course of business, including an accrual for the gross profit split due to BioNTech, partially offset by a non-cash change in Other Adjustments, net, primarily resulting from an increase in unrealized gains on equity securities.
Operating activities from continuing operations$6,541 $4,546 
The change was driven primarily by (i) higher net income adjusted for non-cash items, including an increase from non-cash unrealized losses on equity securities recognized in the first quarter of 2022, compared to unrealized gains recognized in the first quarter of 2021, partially offset by (ii) a decrease in the change in amounts due to BioNTech for the gross profit split for Comirnaty and a decrease in the change in deferred revenues. See Notes 8 and 13C.

Cash flows from discontinued operations primarily relate to our formerthe previously divested Meridian subsidiary, Mylan-Japan collaboration and Upjohn Business and the Mylan-Japan collaboration (see Note 2A2B). In 2020, investing and financing activities from discontinued operations primarily reflect investments in money market funds with proceeds from issuances of long-term debt.
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND MARKET RISK

We rely largely on operating cash flows, short-term investments or commercial paper borrowings and long-term debt to provide for our liquidity requirements. We strive to improve cash inflows through working capital efficiencies. Due to our significant operating cash flows, which is a key strength of our liquidity and capital resources and our primary funding source, as well as our financial assets, access to capital markets, revolving credit agreements, and available lines of credit, and revolving credit agreements, we believe that we have, and will maintain, the ability to meet our liquidity needs to support ongoing operations, our capital allocation objectives, and our contractual and other obligations for the foreseeable future.

Debt Capacity––Lines of Credit

We have available lines of credit and revolving credit agreements with a group of banks and other financial intermediaries. We typically maintain cash and cash equivalent balances and short-term investments which, together with our available revolving credit facilities, are in excess of our commercial paper and other short-term borrowings. As of July 4, 2021April 3, 2022, we had access to a $7 billion committed U.S. revolving credit facility expiring in 2025.2026, which may be used for general corporate purposes including to support our commercial paper borrowings. In addition to the U.S. revolving credit facility, our lenders have provided us an additional $395$348 million in lines of credit, of which $363$319 million expire within one year. Essentially all lines of credit were unused as of July 4, 2021.April 3, 2022.
